Check-In Check-out Policy

            First there must be a completely filled out registration that is turned in prior to or on your first visit. Everyone must check-in at the front desk on each visit. Check-in is as simple as dropping off your child with one of our friendly childcare providers and signing in our log book, the time put in the log book is taken from the clock on the wall at the sign-in desk, at that point let us know if your child has any bumps or bruisers so that we can take care to ensure your child does not irritate these wounds further. Checking-out is simple also. Present your photo Id; sign out in the log, while this is taking place a childcare provider will be quietly preparing your child or children to leave. At the desk all charges will be calculated. If you purchased block time then the time used will be debited from your card. Should you run out of block time you will be charged at the one-hour rate. Any additional charges will be added in and payment rendered by cash, check and credit/ debit card (must have visa or mastercard logo).

Note: If you run ten minutes into the next hour you will be billed for the full hour at the one-hour rate.

KIDZ BIZZ rules, regulations & policies: 

Service requirements: KIDZ BIZZ may be used for a period of time that is no-longer than four hours in duration. A time period of ten minutes counts as one half hour for billing purposes. Our facility cannot be used for purposes of work. We can be used for anything else. So you can have the freedom to attend those college classes, go shopping, doctor appointments, a romantic night out, etc. We also require that children bring appropriate footwear, when they come to our facility. They are welcome to take shoes off whilst in the facility but they need to arrive with adequate footwear please.  

Behavior

It is our policy at KIDZ BIZZ to encourage our children to make good choices about how they behave. We will do this with incentives, coaching and positive reinforcement. We will always attempt to redirect a child into another activity so as to remove them from a situation. For the safety of all the children, excessive aggressive behavior, will result in the parent/ legal guardian or emergency contact being contacted, and asked to come and pick up their child or children. The child or children will not be allowed to return unless there is a great improvement in their behavior.

Children are expected to act in manner that is appropriate for the social setting that they will be enjoying. Children are encouraged to clean-up after themselves, encouraged to share, listen to adults and participate in our scheduled activities.

Should your child experience separation anxiety (crying when parent or legal guardian leaves). Our staff will attempt to comfort the child and divert the child’s attention with activities. If after fifteen minutes this strategy does not work we will try to coddle the child to soothe the child if after a further fifteen minutes this does not work the parent or legal guardian will be contacted to pick-up their child.

The following are steps that we use at KIDZ BIZZ:

            Step 1: Warning, get down to the child’s level and establish eye contact. Explain what the child did and that they should not do that again or they will be put in time-out.

            Step2: Child does the same action. Child is taken to time-out and what they did wrong is explained to them. They are placed in a colored square or a circular rug for the same number of minutes as their age. Example a two year old child is in time-out for two minutes.

            Step 3: After the time is up have the child apologize.

            Step 4: Praise child for complying.

            Step 5: If child gets up before time is up you keep returning child to time-out spot.

            Step 6: If child does not say sorry then child begins time-out again.

            Step 7: Praise child when child refrains from inappropriate behavior.

Hygiene

Our staff work extremely hard to keep the facility clean, it is very important to the health and safety of all the children that we work together to keep everything clean. Your child(rens) hands will be cleaned with a hand sanitizer prior to entering our facility. We ask that your children are appropriately dressed in clean clothing.

In order to allow KIDZ BIZZ to maintain a clean and healthy environment for all the children, in our facility, we do not allow children to attend who are sick. We are extremely careful in our operation to protect your child(ren) against sickness. We ask that you do not bring your child(ren) to our facility if they have an illness. Some signs of illness such as sore throat, cough, rashes, diarrhea or pink eye are indicators that let you know that your child(ren) should not come to KIDZ BIZZ. If your child has had these symptoms or fever and/ or vomiting within twenty-four hours you should not bring your child to our facility. Should your child become sick whilst at KIDZ BIZZ our staff will sensitively separate the child from the other children (but will remain under our supervision) the parents/ Guardian will be contacted to pick up their child. You will be expected to pick-up your child(ren) as soon as possible. In the event of minor bumps, bruises and cuts KIDZ BIZZ staff will administer first aid and inform you of what happened. During a medical emergency, your child will be transported to the appropriate medical facility through the use of the local emergency services for treatment at the expense of the parents/ guardian. Parents should please send children with shoes. 

Parent/ Legal guardian(s) are required to supply immunization records this is a State requirement. 

Safe and Secure Environment KIDZ BIZZ wants you to be completely reassured that the environment that your child or children are in is completely safe and secure. We provide this to you by having a visible facility with well trained, professional staff.
